A teenager was killed in Brooklyn while subway surfing, riding on the outside of a subway train, in the second such incident in two months, according to Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials. The dangerous stunt has prompted strong discouragement from transit and government officials, with efforts including awareness campaigns, special patrols, and collaboration with social media sites to remove related content.
